Complete Question:

Different network scenarios require the use of different tools. The tools you may consider should EXCLUDE:

a. Port scanner

b. Banner grabbing tools

c. Vulnerability scanner

d. Honeypots

e. Protocol analyzer

f. Viruses

g. Honeynets

f. Viruses

Explanation:

Different network scenarios require the use of different tools. The tools you may consider should include:

a. Port scanner: this is a program used by network administrators to scan various application, transport, internet and network ports which may be exploited by hackers or attackers when found vulnerable.

b. Banner grabbing tools: it is used to gather informations of a computer residing on a network and various services running on its open ports using telnet, zmap, netcat and nmap.

c. Vulnerability scanner: used for the detection of vulnerabilities in a network or systems.  

d. Honeypots: it is used to detect and redirect or prevent any unauthorized use of information of a network by mimicking the potential target systems.

e. Protocol analyzer: it is used to analyze traffic and packet captures in a network. Software programs such as wireshark, tshark can be used for protocol analysis.

f. Honeynets: is a combination of one or more honeypots used for attracting and trapping potential attackers.

However, a virus is a malicious program that can replicate and cause severe damage to a computer system.
